[woosha24]

Things that would suck:
Game at GMHBA
Things that would be insanely good:
Winning at GMHBA

If we won next week at Kardinia we'd win the flag in a canter from the confidence we'd gain.

........ we're gonna get ****ed over arent we

 

[Cuzz09]

How many possible combinations of Grand Finals could there be?

Scott not a student of the Simmo - waiting for scans, then late injury report school of coaching shenanigans

 

[HoneyBadger35]

So by allowing a game at GMHBA the AFL is acknowledging that that is an advantage for Geelong, which would require a justification as to why the top ranked team didn’t receive their advantage in a QF they went on to lose.

They won’t open the can of worms mid finals. It’d be suicide. They’d be incredibly stupid too....

Oh god.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Bring on the Cats at Kardinia. If we won there can see us going all the way.
Eagles already selling packages to Melbourne to members though lol.

Bit hard to play smoke and mirrors when he is in a knee brace.

 

[woosha24]

Scott is shitting. bricks.

He knows that he's looking down the same barrel his brother was if he loses next week.

Not for our club

 

[Bluke]

Anyone who can get to the G. We need to have as many there as possible. I'll be doing my best to get there.

I’ll be there

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

"Hamstring awareness" or "general soreness".

 

[Shuestar13]

Scott is s**tting. bricks.

He knows that he's looking down the same barrel his brother was if he loses next week.

He should be... but nope. He has a new contract signed last year. Well and truly ensconced with management there, very strong allies with Cook. As per Cook, they need to be playing finals each year, they can’t bottom out as their fans won’t like it. Hence why Scott is safe, wins plenty of games during the regular season and talks a big game!

 

[Benji85]

The more I think about the more I am just flabbergasted at Chris Scotts coaching and selection tonight. Having Blicavs try to run with Grundy (news flash he did a really s**t job) and not have him down back was a big part for their loss tonight. To not select a full time ruck to play on Grundy, to run with him in play and to have an extra tall to go forward is almost unforgivable

On top of that his coaching in the actual game was non-existent. He changed nothing for 4 quarters, not one thing. I don't even know why I'm mad...I just am

 

[HoneyBadger35]

They’ve won 90 of their past 100 at GMHBA. Best 100 game record in AFL/VFL history. Can’t say with any confidence that we’d get it done there.

Geelong should host finals, especially when they’ve come first, but you can’t shift the goalposts half way. If they’d hosted tonight, they’d be playing a prelim by now. That’s changed the finals too much for a venue switch now to make it better. If an MCG final against an MCG tenant was home ground advantage, there’s no leg to stand on that an MCG final against a WA side isn’t.

AFL won’t pull the trigger, but if they do, jesus it’d be a farce.

 

[FatPizza]

I reckon Brisbane are a good chance tomorrow night.

 

[Cuzz09]

If we lose to Geelong next week I would feel slightly less s**t if somehow Richmond go out in straight sets

At the MCG, Geelong's biggest advantage (midfield) is weakened with the loss of Duncan.

We are in with a really good shot here.

Their ruck is their weakest division too.

 

[squashface]

My finals predictions are:

Bulldogs def GWS
Brisbane def Richmond

West Coast def Geelong
Richmond def Bulldogs

Brisbane def West Coast
Collingwood def Richmond

Collingwood def Brisbane

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Most recently Geelong hosted West Coast at the MCG in the 2011 Preliminary Final, with 59,455 fans attending the game. GMHBA Stadium has a maximum capacity of 36,000.

The AFL line all along has been about maximising attendance (and revenue). Versus the Pies, they’d be locking out 60% of your MCG crowd by playing in Geelong. Versus us, they’d be locking out 40% of your crowd. If they line was maximising attendance, they’ve gone too far to say that 40% is fine.

 

[Cuzz09]

The thing is we cant expect it to just happen.

Which is what weve done in previous finals campaigns after a flag.

I want us to dismantle Richmond in a Prelim at the G

Just gotta hope Richmond win tomorrow night, otherwise with two semis in Melbourne they will seriously consider us playing at Kardinia.
